  • 1.  Adding a spouse to a tax letter

    Posted 04-11-2024 12:59 PM

    Hello!

    We recently had a donor reach out to us to re-issue a tax letter to include her spouse as well. Are there any IRS rules against that? Is that common? For reference, we issue tax letters and thank you letters separately. 

    Many thanks in advance for help,

    Marta

    I have always done this as a matter of course. Unless a spouse tells me to NOT list the other I include both names.

    Where possible I use the system to list the name of the individual who legally made the gift first (using stacked names) as well as in the salutation.
